How it Works

How it Works

We ship you an easy-to-install onboard diagnostic device that fits under your dashboard

We equip drivers with an easy-to-install, custom Bluetooth device (ELM327 Bluetooth OBDII) that you can self-install (or have any mechanic do so for free), into a universal diagnostics port that is standard in North American and European cars since 1996. The small device will sit flush inside your car. Just set it and forget it!

Jaze tells you in plain english (we're working on other languages too), what the check engine light means in your car, approximately how much it will cost and directs you to the most affordable, trustworthy mechanic in your area. The app will even eventually be able to predict repairs, which helps you budget ahead of time.

Save time and money at the mechanic and drive a safer car on the road

Not only does Jaze help reduce friction between driver and mechanic, if you or a loved one are ever in an accident Jaze will automatically notify Emergency Medical Services (EMS), plus your pre-selected emergency contacts with the GPS coordinates and time of the accident via text, email and voice.

Instant Crash Response

If you're ever in an accident, Jaze will instantly alert Emergency Medical Services and five of your closest contacts with the location and time of the accident.

The average time for Emergency Medical Services to respond to a vehicular accident is 12.5 minutes. The average response time for friends and family to respond to a vehicular accident is over 60 minutes and usually doesn't occur until after the victim has been hospitalized. Jaze expects to significantly reduce these response times by pairing our technology with the driver's mobile phone to immediately send an email, text and voice message with the location and time of accident as soon as the air bag is deployed.

Remote Vehicle Diagnostics

Jaze helps drivers make sense of that mysterious check engine light and tells you how much it will cost before visiting the mechanic.

On average consumers spend 19% of their household income on transportation. A large part of that cost falls under car repair and maintenance, which is a mystery to most car owners. Jaze helps reduce the friction between car owner and mechanic by giving drivers easy access to their car data, which levels the playing field by decreasing "information asymmetry" and saving car owners time and money.

Problem Sharing

When there’s an annoying problem with your car, who do you contact? In just one click, Jaze enables you to share your car’s problem (and cost) in plain english with them.

Car problems are never fun and they always seem to happen at the worst times. Having the ability to intelligently share the problem with someone generally involves mimicking the noises coming from the car, or explaining what color smoke is spewing from under the hood. Jaze gives everyday drivers easy access to their car's data, allowing them to share that data with someone trustworthy who can help.
